Plan to Discharge 7,800 Tons by the End of This Month
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) plans to begin the 11th ocean discharge of contaminated water (treated water) from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as early as the 12th of this month.
According to Kyodo News on the 6th, TEPCO reported that it plans to discharge 7,800 tons from the 12th until the end of this month.
TEPCO started ocean discharge of contaminated water on August 24 last year and has so far diluted and discharged about 77,000 tons of contaminated water into the sea in front of the Fukushima nuclear plant over 10 times.
Following the discharge of contaminated water, TEPCO began dismantling empty storage tanks last month. Among more than 1,000 storage tanks, 12 tanks will be dismantled by the end of March next year.
